Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s upcoming film titled Gustakhiyan is a biopic based on Amrita Pritam and Sahir Ludhianvi. The filmmakers are in search for the perfect casting and names like Shah Rukh Khan, Abhishek Bachchan and Irrfan Khan have popped up to play Saahir. On the other hand, Priyanka Chopra was their only strong choice to play Amrita Pritam.

Recently, there were reports stating that Priyanka Chopra has opted out of the movie because she couldn’t produce the film. But Pee Cee’s mother, Madhu Chopra dismissed the reports in an interview to a leading daily stating, 'Priyanka was no doubt in talks with Bhansali, but the two couldn’t fit their time schedules to discuss the film. The question of co-producing would have come in only at a later stage. As of now, nothing has gone forward. He can make it on his own, why will he need a co-producer?' she continued.

When she was asked whether Priyanka has her reservations about Abhishek Bachchan playing Sahir Ludhianvi, Mrs Chorpa responded saying, 'She would be the last person to make such suggestions. It is Bhansali’s call. He is the captain of the ship.'

Priyanka is currently in Mumbai but flies back to the US tonight to kick-start the third season of Quantico.
